OWL themselves, ana are not, SCrlcIly
speaking, salaries.
But the big salaries are not very
evenly distributed, are they?
You may remember the story whis-
pered you recently about Mrs. NEW
RICH, who thought rOtunda was some
kind of glassware in which to serve ice
cream. Well a similar tale comes to the
WhiSperer which is worth repeating. A
st. Paul gentleman was talking to a
woman whose husband has very far
share of this worlds goods, and who,
though she does not live here, has Wis
tied in st. Paul. She had never enjoyed
many social advantages, but was anx-
iOus to give the impression that she
''knew it ALL" While talking with
the gentleman she said, picking
up an invitation, ''Oh, Mr.. X, do
you remember what these letters r. s..
V. p. indicate? | know they stand for a
happiness" but | have forgotten the
exact words, it's so long since | have
studied Latin.'' MI y. knew but he
didn't say. 1t was this same woman's
husband who, on the word ''chaperOne"
having been mentioned IN his presence.
said: ''ChOp perone? Yes. yes; that's
the name of those little pleasure vessels,
isn't it?" AS near as the Whlsperer's
friend could figure it out, he meant
ShallOp.
A well mated pair, at any rate, but
they'll learn,
Haven't you often wished that you
had reflected little before speaking?
At least Well-knOwn st. Paul young
man, whose handsome face is as well
known on lower Third street as it is on
st. Anthony hill, now wishes he hadn't
spoken quite so quickly. 1t was at a re-
cent party. The young man had been
out of the city for some weeks. In the
meanwhile young man and his mother,
bringing excellent letters of introduce
ton, came to ST. Paul to live. The two
young men had met casually and later
ran across each other at the party.
While standing talking a woman of
about fifty, but dressed in youthful
style for twenty, entered the room. The
st. Paul youth knew her not. but her
wonderful makeup caught his eye.
Turning to his companion he said: did
you ever see anything like that in your
life? Why, that dress would look baby
iSh on young girl, to say nothing of a
woman evidently old enough to be a
grandmother. What fright she is. Do
you happen to know her?' Rather
responded the other dryly; ''She is my
mother" The floor did not open, but
the critical young man got away as soon
as possible and bathed his head in ice
water.
Silence is sometimes more than
golden.

When Mike Mcdonald was heavy
stakeholder in the Chicago Passenger
railway company he had considerable to
say as to it's management. Immediately
after the tracks were laid and prior to
the running of the cars consultation,
at which Mcdonald was present, was
held to adopt device for registering

DOYLE was in favor of the bell punch,
while Mr.. Weeks thought a clock like
that in the New York cars was just the
thing they wanted. Mcdonald was Op-
posed to both the bell punch and clock.
''They are no good" he said. 'They
merely serve to remind man that we
have suspicion of his honesty. A dis
honest conductor will beat 'em every
time, and you'll never catch him at it. ;"
''What can you suggest, then, to keep
track of them?" asked Mr.. Doyle, rather

CRIME AND EDUCATION.

Some interesting studies lately made
shed new light upon the question of
the prevalence of crime in its relation
TO education. Reports from the various
prisons and rcfOrmatOry institutions
show very clearly that criminals who
have had fair common school educa-
ton are even more numerous than those
who would be claSSed as illiterate; that
those who have had advantages for re-
ligious instruction are as many as those
who have never seen the interior of
church or Sunday school. So far these
facts develop no especial significance.
The one noteworthy matter of record is,
however, that but very slight proper
ton of the entire number of criminals
possess knowledge of any trade or art
by which livelihood might be gained
Nearly all were ignorant of any method
whatever beyond common bodily or
clerical labor of supporting themselves.
In the Minnesota prison, for instance,
out of 235 prisoners received there in
one year 1S5 had no trade, while but
thirty-fve were reported as illiterate.
The natural deduction from these facts
is that had these prisoners been in
Structed in some way of gaining living
they would not have been forced in the
fierce struggle for existence to train
their hands ''to picking and stealing"
in order to keep soul and body together.
A pertinent question, then, is whether

Mr.. Washburn Approves.

New York Post.
William d. Washburn, the great flour
mill owner of Minneapolis, who has
been repeatedly elected TO congress by
the Republicans of his district, charac-
teriZeS the message as "a bold and cour-
ageous document" enunciating views
which are correct from the standpoint
of American progress and develop
ment." 1t is, in Mr.. WaShburn'S Opin-
ion, an outrage upon the people of
America that the two political parties
should be struggling to make political
capital out of such an economic question
as the tariff, when the danger of finan-
cial contraction is threatening the cOun-
try. The president, he says, has simply
taken the bull by the horns, and in an
independent and straightforward man.
ner has announced doctrine of public
policy that will commend itself to every
thinking business man i'll the cOmmun-
ity. At the same time Knute Nelson, of
Minnesota, who was reelected to con-
greSs by the Republicans of his district
last year upon his record as thorough
going tariff refOrmer, who had voted i'll
favor of considering the Morrison bill,
ought to be got out of the way. A party
which is going to stand for the tariff as
it is cannot allow within its ranks a con-
gresham who thinks that the Demo-
cratic presidents message was ''well-
put and right to the point" and who
says in answer to the inquiry how far
he would be willing to go in any reduc-
ton of taxation: Just as far as it is
possible to go. Iwould like to have as
many of the necesSarieS of life put on
the free list as possible, and have the
taxes retained on whisky and tobacco"

She spoke not word, but held her
hands before her eyes, which had the

could dispel their doubts if they should
consent to pass few nights in this

A MORMON MIGRATION.

Now we are at last revenged upon
Canada for all the Sights she has at
tempted to put upon us, and, even if
the decision of the fisheries commission
is against US, we can cry quits. A Nor
mon migration has set in to the Cana
dian Northwest, and fifty families have
settled, at Fort Mcleod, with more to
follow. The Canadians have long been
anxious to induce immigration to their
frozen Northwest, and now they have it.
The United States will bear Canada
no i'll will because the immigrants come
from this side of the line. On the con-
trary, this government will take pleas
ure in aiding the immigration by every
means in its power. Its only fear will
be that the movement will not be
thorough enough. If it will only go on
to the extent of removing all the Nor
mons in this country and placing them
in Canada the better will we like it.
They have not been found desirable
citizens under republican form of gov
eminent, but perhaps they will appear
better at distance under the Domin-
ion. 1t is true that the MOrmOns who
have already settled in Canada promise
not to practice polygamy, but so did
they in Utah and carried it on just the
same.
But Canada is welcome to experiment
with them as much as she pleases, and
should be afforded every facility for
sending her immigration agents to Salt
Lake City itself if she choose. And,
besides, if pOlygamy is anywhere ex-
cusable it would be on the almost unin-
habited plains of the Canadian North
west, where population is the great de-
sideratum and morals are a secondary
consideration

FAST MAILS.

From time to time the attention of the
pOstOffice department at Washington has
been called to the necessity for faster
mail facilities between the Eastern
cities and st. Paul. From time to time
promises have been made that the mat
ter shall have the attention of the de-
partment. But the promises have been
all that we have been able to get. Our
Eastern mail now lies in Chicago over
two hours. In fact, it has been doing it
for years without any reason for it.
The only pretext for delaying all our
Northwestern mail matter these two
hours is to give the Chicago news
papers chance to send out
their early editions OF the North
western trains. 1t does look as though
the poStOfice department was reducing
ness when it subjects the whole popula-
ton of the Northwest to an inconven-
fence for the accommodation of a half a
dozen newspaper publishers in the city
of Chicago. If Chicago is not big
enough town to support its own news
papers without Substituting the post
Office department, then it ought to sur
render its charter and go out of bust
ness.
We are gratified to learn that Con-
gresham RICE is now making a vigOr-
Gus effort to induce the postoffice de-
partment to change the mail schedule
so that there will be no delay in Chi
cage, but that our Eastern
mail may come directly through
so that the people of the Twin Cities
will receive their mail at least two hours
earlier than it is now received. The
advantage of this change to our bust
ness men is so apparent that it needs
no argument to convince them of the
necessity for giving Mr.. RICE all the
support and encouragement within
their power. The GLOBE suggests that
the chamber of commerce take the mat
ter up this morning and adopt
memorial on the subject. 1t would be
well for other business organizations to
take the same steps. Nor would it be
improper for the citizens to move in
body in the matter by signing and for
warding petition to the postoffice de-
partment urging the necessity for
prompt action in the matter. We may
expect to have, as we have always had,
the violent opposition of the Chicago
newspapers. But it is about time that
the Northwest was showing to the world
that it is no longer tied to ChicagO'S
apron string. and this is good oppor
tunity to do it,

of poker was started. The young
merchant was induced to drink heavily,
and the more he drank the lower his
pile of chips grew. Finally, he became
''broke." He was then almost too
drunk to know what was going OH, and
as he sat in his char one of the men
filled out prOmiSSOry note for 1900
This was placed before the merchant,
and while some of the sharks held his
head UP, another held his hand until he
signed the paper. He was then sent
home in hack. When he came to
himself he had but faint remembrance
of what had passed, but when notice of
the maturity of the note was sent to
him the whole transaction came back to
him and he refused to pay. The men
who held the note then obtained judg
ment by default against him, and this
Judgment was entered up. The mer-
chant recently secured a lawyer and an
attempt will be made to open the judg-
ment and have the case tried. If the
matter comes into the courts disclosures
of highly sensational nature will be
made, and the court will probably order
the club to close inStanter.

A THIRSTY GHOST.
A Good Story Related by a Sault
Ste. Marie Paper.

Clifford Byron BaumgrasS, the sub
ject of the following thrilling incident,
narrated by a Sault Ste. Marie paper,
was the son of Prof. p. and Mary Baum
grass, the well-knOwn Chicago artists.
He was born in Washington, ID. c., and
came to Chicago two years ago to be
with his parents. He was a young man
of unusual promise and high gifts.
Contrasting strong principles of virtue
with marked gentleneSS of character,
he was admired by all and beloved by
those who knew him well. His word
could be relied upon.
He was rapidly progressing in his
studies in the hope of becoming a
sculptor. Young BaumgraSS left Chi
cagO in August for Sault Ste. Marie,
where he spent part of last summer.
He fingered longer than was expected,
knowing that there was no necessity for
his immediate return. His parents,
however, looked anxiouSly for him many
days, when at last they received word
that he was to leave on the Inflated
steamer Vernon. Letters and dis
patches failed to reach him to stay him
from his purpose, and the aching
hearts of parents and friends have only
this cold fact to cling to--that fathoms
deep beneath the waves of Lake Michi-
gan lies the beloved form in the cold
arms of death. The story told by the
Sault Ste. Marie paper is this:
"a startling story, fully authenti-
Gated. comes to us from the Middle
Neebish and vicinity, which in
its details and realistic Incl
dents would furnish a chap

the reliability of the report, each reader
is left to draw his own conclusions as to
the cause.
